Re: Helmets

would anyone know where in delhi (or NCR)can we get a good variety of helmets to choose from.. im looking for only imported brands like arai, agv,soumy or shoie etc.
the dealers i speak to always say if u give advance we can get it for u..but how can i book it without even having a look at the real thing

One more shop started on Mehrauli - Gurgaon road beside Arjangarh Metro station. Name of the shop is "Go Rev Up" and they keep all branded stuff in motorcycle riding accessories. Shop owner is Prathyush.

Address is - Go Rev Up, near Arjangarh Metro Station gate no. 2, Mehrauli Gurgaon Road, Opposite Metro Pillar 187E.

From Mehrauli of Gurgaon, it falls on the right side and can be seen easily from the red light.

Hey Guys,
I have just upgraded to MT Thunder 3.0. It is a wonderful Lid in Matte but, I was told by a rider friend that one can have a plastic film pasted on the outer shell to protect it from fading or from scratches. Is this suggestion credible?

Is it even possible to wrap a helmet completely in just 1 single piece without cutting??

That are the kinda doubts I have too and I am skeptical about it. One silly mistake can be dangerous when it comes to safety gears and harness.

Hi. I bought a LS2 FF302 hyperion from Paytm yesterday. The ece certification is stickered and not embossed. How to know if the helmet is original.
Quality wise it seems pretty good but I'm upgrading from a basic Steelbird so don't have anything to compare with.

It is always the sticker no engraved.

It is always the sticker no engraved.

to ascertain a genuine ece helmet of LS2,check for a white label on the chin strap of the hemet,there will a numerical code on the white label ,the code should start with number 05

Re: Helmets

Any suggestions for a light weight (<1450gms incl communicator) adventure(the one with peak and visor) helmet??
Currently am using a Caberg V2X Carbon and Schuberth SR2. Both are super awesome and ultra safe helmets.
But wanna pickup an adventure helmet for long distance touring!

Yup.. the news is true. Pictures are making rounds showing heaps of the 'cap-helmets' piled on the roadside after seizing. I beg to differ about half faced helmet getting seized, as few of my friends said that their helmets were not seized. Generally they don't check everyone, just the ones who look like wearing hats.

You will get pinlock 30 with Smk twister which is very helpful in fog and in this range twister is the wise pick. Mt mugello would fall in the same range but it comes without pinlock, but it comes with DD strap.
Smk is does get bit noiser then mt at triple digit speed but that can be fixed but covering the Bluetooth area with a tape.
Spares for smk are also easily available.
